GR86 Deep Sumps

[Beans]

The HKS looks different to the normal drop in baffles. It has that whole cast section which none of the others have had almost making it a sump within a sump. It will be interesting to see the data on it though. HKS are a giant of a company in the tuning world so I hope they have done their homework.

The larger pans work no doubt but is not a cure to the problem. It is just throwing more oil at it.

Yeah, maybe a different way to tackle it. Definitely need to see some data on it.

The gen1 (gt86/brz) had 0.4L higher engine oil capacity. I wonder if by reducing the capacity (for environmental consideration) in the gen2 hasnt helped us here. Hard to tell unless the design of the oiling system is identical between the two though!

I was fairly sure multiple baffle options / designs were tested over the last couple of years, with little to no improvement and the community had settled on extra capacity being the cure. Would be interested to see some data backing up the design for the HKS offering to see if it actually helps

The designs I've seen look pretty generic, I'm sure if you could find it many of these came out before the problems with oiling on this platform manifested itself. The HKS design is unlike anything else, it looks like they have done there homework.

I hope its not too pricey, I like the deep sumps, the extra oil capacity is always welcome, oil acts like a cooling medium too, so more of it is never a bad thing but I do think they expensive, then again these are bespoke small batch products.

Well this is baffling.... Sorry.

My Formula Delta oil pan turned up today. It looks amazing, feels solid with a premium finish from the casting, the baffle design and machine work.
